Office Space is a very unique film: it's one of the earliest iterations of "office comedy," it's one of the first non-superhero films based on a comic strip, and despite being so close to the current century, it feels definitively 90's.

More importantly than all that, Office Space is damned funny, which I would argue is by far the most essential element of any comedy. And the humor is diverse, from the quotable one-offs ("PC Load Letter. The fuck does that mean?") to the character quirks (Milton mumbling about person-to-cake ratio and last straws, Lumbergh's trademark smacking and "Yeah...") to actual visual comedy (intentionally framerate-lacking slow-mo coupled with gangster rap as the trio destroy the copier in a deserted field).…

The one movie that is guaranteed to be mentioned at least once a day in countless offices around the world.

"Hello Peter, what's happening? Ummm, I'm gonna need you to go ahead come in tomorrow. So if you could be here around 9 that would be great, mmmk... oh oh!"

Over 20 viewings later, and this wonderful white collar comedy is still hilarious to me.

I work in the software department of a huge multinational corporation, so although I've never had to deal with TPS reports, I've encountered more than my share of ridiculous red tape. Therefore, there are plenty of aspects of this film that I find highly relatable.

If you second-guess yourself on whether or not you wanna jump into the film industry for whatever bullshit reason like “you don’t sleep a lot” or “I’m too nervous” or whatever(I talk from personal experience here) then WATCH THIS MOVIE YOU WILL CHANGE
